Looking for the Perfect Garden-Lover Gift?
If you are thinking of the perfect gift to give your loved ones this Christmas, you should definitely consider giving them a copy of my first book, Kitchen Garden Revival.
Between the information in my book and the support they can find here in the Gardenary community, they're sure to make all their garden goals a reality in 2023.
Becoming a gardener is challenging, but Nicole Burke is a trustworthy, encouraging teacher. She breaks down intimidating methods into step-by-step instructions with easy-to-follow advice, so you can confidently build and cultivate a beautiful kitchen garden in your own backyard.”
This Garden Gift Walks Readers Through Planning and Setting Up Their Own Kitchen Gardens
Sure, the garden-lover in your life may want a beautiful raised-bed kitchen garden, but they may feel stuck when it comes to actually creating one. No amount of scrolling, pinning, or bookmarking has gotten them any closer to making their garden dreams a reality. That's where my book comes in.
I took my own experience setting up hundreds of kitchen gardens and created a step-by-step system for readers with and without green thumbs to follow to create their own Gardenary-inspired kitchen garden as they read the book.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful, comprehensive, and inspiring book about kitchen gardening. Nicole is right, it's time for a kitchen garden revival, and this book will help you make your delicious dreams a nourishing reality.”
Kitchen Garden Revival can also be helpful for those who have been planning to up their gardening game. If they already have their garden set up but want to practice more organic gardening practices or plant their beds intensively the way I do, this book will teach them how to make the most of the space they have in their garden.
Nicole takes us by the hand and walks us down the garden path—showing us step by step how we can start growing our own food in simple, sensible, and stylish ways. If you're brand new to kitchen gardening, this book is a great primer; and if you're an old pro, the garden designs she has laid out in relation to the home, will inspire you to rethink your own foodscape."
An Excerpt from Kitchen Garden Revival:
Kitchen Garden: A garden where vegetables, fruits, and herbs are grown for everyday use in the kitchen
“So, what exactly is a kitchen garden? Is it a garden inside the kitchen?” (I get this question a lot).
Called kailyards in Scotland and known as potagers in France (sounds fancy, right?), a kitchen garden is a place closely connected with your kitchen and everyday life. It’s a distinct area of your home and landscape where vegetables, fruits, and herbs are grown for culinary use.
A kitchen garden can be as small as a collection of garden boxes on the patio or deck or it can be as large as a formal stone garden that covers hundreds of square feet. No matter the size, the purpose is the same: a garden that’s tended regularly and used frequently in everyday meals.
It’s not a vegetable patch or homestead. It’s much smaller and doesn’t require nearly the amount of work those do. Unlike a farm, which is cleared all at once, planted all at once, and harvested (you guessed it) all at once, a kitchen garden is tended regularly.
Why a Kitchen Garden revival?
Kitchen gardens, though we may have forgotten the term, aren’t a new concept. They’ve been a thing for thousands of years. But somewhere along our way of progress, we lost the kitchen garden. With the input of technology and industry, our food systems have changed dramatically over the last century. And while not all the change has been bad, the kitchen garden is something that should’ve stayed.
To create whole and happy lives, for the beauty in our homes, for the benefit of our community and for the good of the world, it’s time for a kitchen garden revival. A revival is a magical thing. Perhaps this book will be that seed. (Fingers crossed!) But I’ll need you to bring the rain and the sunshine.
